When did I say I would move my family to an area just be a beacon of light.  Get real, and stop putting words in my mouth.  I moved to my current location because it was my wife's grandmas house and we got a great deal from her parents.  Both sets of grandparents are a 30 min drive away in the same town as each other.

1. I didn't put words in your mouth, you said your kids could help, you didn't say anthing about getting a great deal on a house before. With this new ifo can I assume you wouldn't have moved there if not for your ties to this house?

2. Yup, that works for me. Call me crazy ,but I don't want my kids around thugs, crack whores, and gang bangers, ( even if they could help)

Look out for number 1? Thanks, don't mind if I do.

a lack of PC at least makes my posts believable, all of your high road bullshit? I do not believe for one minute. You will not have your kids pick some gang bangers to take them with you on your family trips, you did not move to an area based on where you felt your kids could bring the most good. YOu are simply fulla shit today, so please take off your PC and jump in, the water is fine.

Putting words in my mouth again, thanks. 

Never said I moved them to an area to make a difference.  Just said I would not move them away from making a difference.

You obviously don't know me.  I have never lied about anything on here and always speak my own mind.  Well, maybe my wife tells me what to say sometimes.  Different story though.

Simple answer here is that I disagree with you about moving children out of school because you want to protect them and give them a better chance in a better school.  I wouldn't do it and when I had the chance did not do it.  Simple as that. 

Just watch what you say about my character.

1. Well if you are claiming that you will keep and or move your kids in a shitty school system in hopes that they make a difference, I am gunna call you liar. If you are going to tell me that you plan on taking some troubled kids from the inner city with you on youtr next family vacation, I again am calling you a liar. This is not t osay you would not join a structured program that helps inner city kids, I think you would. That is not the same as doing it privately however.
( assuming you are normal thinking).

I guess in your eyes I am a liar then.  I would keep my kids in a bad school system so they could make a difference.  Within reason of course.

I would not go to the inner city and ask a group of kids to come for tour about the lake with my famliy and you know it.  Never said I would do it in a stupid way.

Stop trying to twist everything I say to prove your point.  I have and will make decisions that may not seem in the best interest of my familiy, but I hope they impact others in a positive way.  Just because you can't wrap your brain around that doesn't mean you get to call me a liar.

Well honestly Bovine has it backwards. I am Glad that Lowing is loking out for his family because now he has done his job and I don't have to pay for them. If more people looked out for number one then the rest of us won't have to do it for them.

Nothing wrong with helping others, but to purposely move to, or stay in an undesireable area when you have a choice is simply not believeable.

This thread is about segragation, and basically you are saying you would integrate into a shitty nirghborhood for the greater good of teaching your children selflessness. I just do not believe that you  or anyone on this forum would do that.

If I was to live in an area such as you describe I would send my kids to the school and welcome the integration.  I have not and will not move into an are just to make a difference.  You are stretching the scenario a bit. 

I started this whole thing with a simple example of how we as a family decided to not take the easy way out.  You then stretched the thing to test my resolve concerning my beliefs.  You then call me a liar when I tell you what I would do in the circustances I laid out.  You then stretched those to further test me and I have been trying to keep you honest about what I have said or not said ever since.

I am done with work now so it is bedtime.  Later.

Edit:  I will check my phone for your response on my way home to see how you try to call me a liar again.

Sorry, but I think you would move if your nieghborhood and your kids school turned to shit, and I do not think you would welcome the "diversity" that comes with minorities moving into an area. Again I do not like saying it, and I know it is not PC but the fact remains, generally when minorites move in, the area including the schools go down the tubes. You know this to be true, and yes, for you to deny this and welcome the changes minority integration in reality brings, I do not believe you. Tell ya what though, I wil apologize for calling you a liar, that is outta line. I will revise my statement to say, I think you believe your good intentions but you will succumb to the realities of the sitution, and move.

Well thanks for the apology.  The fact remains though that you are telling me how I would act in a given situation.  Without knowing me and my family, that is a bit presumptious at the very least.

You are correct it is presumptuous. It is also based on the reality of the average person living in America. If you are somehow pursuing sainthood or something, I bow to your greater nobility. However, you must forgive me, I was merely playing the odds that I was talking to a regular Joe who in closed circles thinks just like me ( except I have no class and will speak the truth regardless as to how much it hurts or it shocks.

I also take note that you did not deny a word of my previous post.

The fact that for you to speak openly your views, that it must be done on the assumption your talking to the average American and on the conditional requirement it is within closed circles says a lot about the reality your living in lowing.

Oh I invented white flight, I made up the fact that crime follows minorites out of the city, I made up the fact that minorites bring down property values. Yup I made it all up. None of it is true. Sorry, I do not make up the rules, I do however what is going on around me. Regardless of it is noble or not.

If you moved into a wealthy hollywood suburb, purchased a mansion after winning the lottery and met the neighbours, do you think they would consider you outside trash "new money" and undeserving to live their? Your just going to bring the propety values down with your non-luxury car sitting in the drive way, your damn kids leaving their bicycles on the lawn for everybody to see, and you coming from a non-famous background. You simply got lucky.

I don't think it gives them the right to tell you where your kids go to school. Where you are allowed to live. Or how you are to segregate yourself from the rest of them. And I don't think you'd enjoy that either.

I have no idea what we're arguing right now, so back to the OP

DC is a very interesting situation when it comes to schooling. In the DC metro area, there are very good schools. Some of the best in the nation. A lot of these are private (such as the one Obama's kids go to) and some are public (Thomas Jefferson in Alexandria, Churchill and Bethesda-Chevy Chase in Bethesda, Montgomery Blair in Silver Spring). However, all of these schools are either in the wealthier towns outside of DC, or are in the nicer parts of DC.

The schools in inner city DC suck for the most part. The DC public school system for the most part sucks. It's a simple fact of the matter that most of the kids in the poor-performance schools in DC are black. I wouldn't call it segregation though, at least not segregation by law. It's segregation by the fact that I'd rather send my kid to a good school in this area, which tends to have either a diverse or mostly-white student body, than a bad school in this area. Race has nothing to do with it, it just so happens that the shitty schools around here are mostly black.

And for the record, the Obama kids' school is very diverse, both racially and economically. There are plenty of minority students as well as students whose families can't afford the full tuition, but whose kids are smart and have the drive to succeed and thus receive scholarships.

Do you know what you did not do? You did not deny what I said was true.
I'm trying to work out if you feel segregation of the lower classes should apply to segregation of you from higher classes also.

You've avoided it well though. I'm not going to deny the points you've made until you clarify the above so I have a better mindset of where your coming from.
